I just got four completely unrelated down votes to both questions and answers within two minutes and obviously no comments at all. This may be a coincidence but I don't think I have ever had that many votes on different questions in such a short timespan so I am inclined to think that this is not a coincidence.

Is there any way to limit that sort of behavior? I am not so much concerned with the rep loss. I can live with that, but the value of the voting system is reduced if people start using this as a tool of vengeance (or whatever it is).

This question seems to cover much of my concern, so I guess my question is simply: will this situation be detected and votes restored after a while? On of the answers seems to indicate that it will, but I can't seem to locate it in the FAQ.
